Revd David Ford, Team Rector of Bromsgrove said: Churcheshave always offered their local communities safe space or sanctuary - inwhich to simply 'be', pray or talk about what is uppermost in their minds.Whatever your own views on BREXIT, this is a difficult time of uncertainty. Wehope that by fulfilling the churches traditional role of offering sanctuary, asafe space, our communities can find the peace and the courage we need forwhatever lies ahead.

@1 will begin on the 17 October, the dayof the European Council meeting, and continue at least until 1 November.
